Welcome! I am a PhD candidate and Research Assistant at University of Kassel, Germany, with a strong focus on analytically tractable heterogeneous agent New Keynesian models.
My research interests include the interaction between monetary policy and inequality, the implementation of household heterogeneity in macro models and its implications for optimal monetary policy. Additionally, I am interested in the economics of CBDC and its implications for monetary policy.
